This fine work played on viols is as wonderful as when it is sung, I would say.
If you however want to sing with me, here is a pdf:

"Ave Verum" is considered by many to be William Byrd's finest work. It was first published in volume one of his Gradualia in 1605.
Lyrics
The verse itself is from a 14th century handwritten document from Reichenau, penned by an unknown author.
